A checklist of things
a bride might want to have on hand on her wedding day. What you might need
will depend upon how elaborate your wedding is. I notice duct tape on the
list and quite frankly that puzzles me. I have yet to attend or officiate
a wedding that required the use of duct tape, even with a fair number of
nervous grooms on hand. Scotch tape and masking tape on the other hand
come in quite handy.
Many of these items
are multi-purpose and some useful things don't even appear. I have used
hairspray to "glue" a bridesmaid's bosoms into her dress and
snapped an eraser off the end of a pencil to use as the back of an
earring.
Use this page as a
guide, print it if you'd like and check off items as you assemble your
kit. Better yet, delegate to your maid/matron of honor. You've got enough
things on your mind.
